Freya - Surge Timer

★★★★★ This app is FANTASTIC! I used the app throughout my labor to help me focus on my breathing during contractions/surges and to keep calm & relaxed between them. The app was incredible, I had a completely natural birth, and it's all because I was able to stay calm, relaxed and focused on breathing. Freya / Positive Birth Company - Thank you SO MUCH for helping me achieve my dream water birth at home 💗

★★★★★ A life-saving app for laboring moms. This app allowed me to labor longer at home instead of being confined in maternity ward. The soft bg music, birth affirmations and surge breathing mode helped me to manage my pain.

★★☆☆☆ I haven't given birth yet, so I can't fully rate how it works for labor, but I've been trying to use it for braxton hicks etc. The app tracks times of contractions, but not dates, so if you track across multiple days the intervals are all wrong. You also can't pause the (5 in total) audio tracks, only turn the sound off, and it restarts the current track from the beginning when you turn it back on with no option to skip within each track. Very disappointing for a paid app.

★★☆☆☆ I would give it 0 if I could. Paid for this app for labor and went to use in hospital whilst having contractions. Instead of timing my contractions it continually told me to go to hospital even though I was IN hospital... an absolute waste of money and time. Ended up using a stopwatch.
